Throttle respects your privacy

Throttle doesn't need access to your email account to do what it does — it stops the problem before it reaches your inbox. This means you don't have to sacrifice your privacy in order to use Throttle. The only data Throttle has access to are the messages you have sent to it. We never sell your data to anyone for any reason. Check out our privacy policy here.

Throttle Browser Extension

Stop giving out your email address online.

A button is added to all email form fields online. Instead of entering your real email address, just click the Throttle button, and a unique email address is generated and filled into the field for you.

Throttle includes browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, and even Mobile Safari on iPhone and iPad.

Digest Email & Reading List

Received messages are in your online reading list & sent to you in one daily digest email.

Everything received for you is combined by Throttle into a single daily digest email.

Plus, you can enjoy the newsletters, notifications, and other emails you want to read anytime in your reading list or in the iPhone app.

Spamsense, an email first

Find out who tries to sell your address.

Throttle will automatically detect when a sender sells or shares your email address.

Ever got an email and wondered how the sender got your email address? Now you'll know. With Spamsense, you’ll find out who is selling or sharing your email address. And with Revoke Access, you can shut them all down with a single click.

Revoke Access

Revoke anyone’s access to your inbox.

When you revoke any sender’s access, the unique address they were given to send you email is shut down. It's instantaneous — no more "unsubscribe" wars. They have no way back into your inbox, because they never had your real email address in the first place.

Even if they distributed or sold your email address, no one they gave it to or will give it to has any way into your inbox.

You want me to pay for software?

We know it sounds crazy, but hear us out: we’re a few independent designers and developers in Virginia and Tennessee. If we can make a living off of our software, then that means more great software for you. If we can’t, that means an industry filled with free bloatware with shady business models that’ll get acquired and shut down just when it starts to get good. So consider it an investment in your current and future productivity.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I log in to an account using a Throttle address?

Throttle's biggest fans love to use Throttle for their social media and other online accounts. That way, notifications don't bother you all day; you know they'll come to you in a single daily digest email.

The Throttle browser extension will automatically fill login form fields with your generated address so you don't need to worry about finding it to login.

Won't marketers be unhappy about this?

Throttle is actually great for legitimate senders as well. Here are some benefits they enjoy with their subscribers that use Throttle:

Automatic Whitelisting — When a subscriber authorizes your newsletter with Throttle, you are automatically whitelisted, so there's no need to request that a user do it manually.

No Spam Reports — A user's first and only step to stop unwanted email is to revoke access, so you don't have to worry about spam reports with Throttle subscribers.

Higher Conversion Rates — During our testing, something we didn't predict but that we found out very quickly: Throttle users are much more likely to subscribe to your newsletter, because they don't have to worry about vetting your privacy policy first.

Optimized Delivery Time — The best you can do is average out the best time to send your mass mailings to all of your users, even if that isn't a great time for most of them. Throttle users pick the most convenient time to receive your content.

Full HTML5 + CSS3 Support — Your email is displayed in the user's supported browser, with nothing stripped out. You can take advantage of all the full HTML5 & CSS3 that you want.

Can I use my own domain for my generated addresses?

Yes. Pro users can use their own domain for generated Throttle addresses. Once set up, it works automatically.

What information does Throttle have access to? How does Throttle respect my privacy?

Throttle doesn't need access to your email account to do what it does — it stops the problem before it reaches your inbox. This means you don't have to sacrifice your privacy in order to use Throttle. The only data Throttle has access to are the messages you have sent to it. We never sell your data to anyone for any reason.

Will Throttle work with my iCloud, Gmail, etc. account?

Yes! Throttle doesn't even need access to your email account, because it stops the problem before it even reaches your inbox. This means it's compatible with any email account, and you don't have to compromise your privacy to use Throttle.

Can I "Throttle" more than just newsletters?

Absolutely. Throttle's biggest fans love to use Throttle for their social media and other online accounts. This way, notifications don't bother you all day; you know they'll come to you in a single daily digest email.

Has Throttle caught any scammers?

You bet! Just during our beta, some of our users experienced the very first cases:

When their email address was sold to thousands of spammers (resulted in over 6,000 emails)

When the sender had a data leak, and spammers stole the addresses (resulted in hundreds of emails)

When the sender had a software glitch that resulted in over 500 emails

What if I want to migrate my subscriptions away from Throttle at some point?

That's why we offer the custom domain Pro feature. The custom domain page will walk you through setting up a subdomain on one of your own domains to use for your Throttle address. Then all of your addresses will look like this: "XX@throttle.mydomain.com". If you ever want to migrate away, you can just set up a catchall at the domain and forward it along to whichever address you want to continue getting these messages.

You can now do everything you want online, without compromising your inbox or your time.
